This is our first year with chickens. This is Bonnie, a Welsumer who hatched mid-march. No eggs yet. does she look mature enough to lay? Seattle days are getting shorter already.
We just got started with chickens this spring, and are starting to realize that we can't just pick up and go somewhere overnight because our three girls like to free range in the backyard during the day, and have to be shut it at night for protection. We don't have any sort of fenced in run yet...
